Fudge Layered Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake

“
This irresistible layered dessert has so much texture and flavor, and it's surprisingly light. It starts with a flakey crust, topped with chocolate fudge, creamy cheesecake, luscious chocolate mousse, whipped cream peaks, and chocolate drizzled and hardened on top of peaks. "

Instructions

2) Cover crust with aluminum foil and fill with pie weights. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove foil and pie weights, pierce bottom of crust 4-5 times with fork, and continue baking for another 5-7 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool on wire rack for 10-15 minutes.

7) For Garnish when ready to serve: Top chocolate mousse layer with 1 tub of whipped topping (you may want to pipe on the whipped topping, to create impressive peaks). Place melted baking bar into a small ziploc bag and cut 1/8 inch off one corner. Swirl melted chocolate over whipped cream in a circular pattern, allowing chocolate to drizzle and harden on whipped topping peaks. This creates a beautiful, three-dimensional presentation.
